SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 744,401, dated November17, 1903.

Application filed March 2, 1903. Serial No. 145,656. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY POLAK, a citizen of the United States,residing at 23 Russell street, in the borough'of Brooklyn, county ofKings, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Whips, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates particularly to a novel device for connecting thelash with what is known as the stock or handle, the object being toprovide a simple, economical, and efiective attachment between the rigidand flexible parts of the implement.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of thisspecification, Figure 1 shows a perspective View of a portion of thecompleted article. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the difierent membersof myimproved attachment detached one from another to show theirrelation. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section to a larger scale of thevarious parts. In the drawings, A represents the stock or handle of awhip, and B the lash. At 0, I show my improved attachment for connectingthese parts to one another. This attachment consists principally of twoparts D and E. The part D fits onto the stock or handle A and has ascrew'F secured and locked within it to afiord means for gripping thehandle tightly. The part D is provided with parallel corrugated ridgesG, which operate to grasp the stock more firmly. The screw F, employedto grasp the outer end of the stock or handle A, is formed of spiralspring S, set into a corresponding interior spiral groove H. When thespring S has been placed in position by inserting from the outer end, anotch J is formed in the part D, which serves to lock the spiral springin position. The part E fits over the part D, and a ring or annularportion L holds it in place, while at the same time permitting a turningmovement of the two parts D and E one on the other. This part the. partE has been slipped over the part D and has reached the position shown inFig. 3, the shoulder M of the part E, fitting up against the shoulder Nof the part D, the depression or annular portion L is formed in the partE. By these means the partsD and E are locked togetherlongitudinally,although they will turn easily on each other.

A pin P is provided for holding the lash B to the attachment. By meansof this thelash can be removed and renewed.

The turning movement of the part E on the partD prevents the lash fromwrapping itself around the handle.

- Having thus described myinvention, the following is what I'claim asnew therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

7 In a whip the combination of. the lash and the handle, with means forattaching these parts one to the other consisting of the part D havingcorrugated ridges G for securing same to handle, the spiral groove Hwithin which is located the spiral spring S, and a shoulder N, with thepart E having shoulders M and L, and a pin P for the attachment of thelash, all arranged substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
